What are the latest updates on Laos border closures and their impact on travel from Thailand?
Hearing that Laos is now closing its borders. Anyone heard more?
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the recent closure of several entry points at the Laos border amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Although some borders to Vietnam are closed, significant Thai-Laos border crossings remain open, such as Nongkhai and Mukdahan. Speculation and confusion exist regarding restrictions on travel between Thailand and Laos, with some users expressing concern over planned visa runs. Updates from individuals indicate that three specific borders between Laos and Thailand have been closed, but major crossings are still operational.
